GASKET.

Specflcation of Letters Patent.

ratene Aug. 28, 1908.

To all whom itmay concern:

'Be it known that I, GEORGE C. BRUNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Evansville, in the county of Vanderburg and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gaskets; and I do declare the followin to, be a full, clear, and exaclt description o? the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the 'art to, which it appertains vto make and use the same;

This invention relates to improvements in gaskets.

The object of the invention is to providea asket or acking-ring having a metallic acking an means formed on said hacking to secure the same onto said packing-ringor gasket.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certaln novel features of construction, combination, ahd arran ement of parts, as will be hereinafter descri ed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Fi re 1 is a plan view of aga'sket constructe in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2.is a sectional view of' the same.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1' denotes the asket, which may be formed of any suitabie elastic material and in any desired form, the same being here shown in the form of a ring. Arranged on one side of the gasket 1 is a metallic backingl ring 2, preferably formed of copper or other ductile metal. Around the inner and outer edges of the metallic backin 2 is formed a ser1es of teeth 3, which are ere shown and .are preferably, though not necessarily, V-

sha ed in-form. The teeth 3 on'the inner an adapted to be ent over the inner and outer outer ed es of the bacln'ng-ring are edges of and onto the outer face of the asket 1, the teeth 3 being pressed int tig t engagement with thev outer surface of the asket, thereby securing the latter and said acking-rin together.

By provi in a gasket constructed as 'herein shown and escribed the use and life of the same are greatly prolonged, and the metallic backing does not detract from the sefulness and operation of the gasket.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, tleconstruction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without re uiring a more extended expl'anation.

arious changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The herein-described gasket comprising an elastic body portion and a metal backmgring, said ring having teeth on its inner and outer edges, said teeth being bent over onto the` elastic asket at its outer and inner edges to hol the body portion of the rin together, said gasket having one of its su v aces covered by the metal ring and its op osite surface being partially exposed, su stantially as' described. i

In testimony Whereof I have hereunto set my handin presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE C. BRUNER.
